Small monitors

[Andrew Tarpinian]

Cool, and I heard its good to do most of your main mixing without a ton of bass, even (especially) if you are making bass heavy music.

>> I could really use some compact monitors, as my KRK Rokit RPG2 6’s are kind of too big for my space. Meaning: physical size, and the fact that they are too (loud, bassy, powerful) for my apartment, neighbors not happy, :) it's gotten to the point where I can't use them at night. Also I feel they are good for jamming, but not really great for mixing etc…

It seems people really like them or they say they are rubbish, so is the internet. I would love to have them on my desk for all around use, as well as when checking mixes, but I am nervous the lack of bass will f up my mixes.
